IPod can't be updated...not enough space hold selected playlists

My nano will not update automatically any more. Yes, there is enough space but the newest iTunes refuses to see it.
Also, the only sure way to get songs out of nano is to delete it manually. Even unchecking them does not work.
I regret upgrading to the latest iTunes.
Nano 4G   Windows XP  

my Nano doesn't show up in iTune
This thread has nothign to do with iTUne snot seeing th eiPod.

  • New Ipod Nano - won't update "not enough space" but its empty!!

    My wife's iPod Nano is brand new (I have a Video iPod so iPods are not new to me!)
    I get the message that the iPod cannot be updated because library is too big etc....
    What I did:
    I reinstalled iTunes.
    Restored library and unticked all tracks.
    Downloaded updater and restored iPod Nano.
    Tried to update "only checked" tracks - didn't work. Restarted system - settings of "checked songs" were saved - got same message.
    Tried unchecking this and doing "only sleceted playlists" with a playlist of 208MB (iPod Nano model is 1Gb) - still got same message.
    Tried everything I can think of - still no joy
    Adam

    Thanks for the suggestion but I am not using it as Firewire HD and I unchecked "enalbe disc use" anyway.#
    Something is definitely not right somewhere - when I switch to manual management of tracks it works fine - its just a pain to do that all the time.
    Cheers

  • Can't restore iPad, not enough space, lost Pin to get in.

    Password was changed on iPad and when trying to restore to factory settings, I can't as there is not enough space. What can I do?  I can't see the iPad on "Find my iPad" on iCloud either, so that is not an option.

  • Navigon 1.7.0 update - Not enough space

    I'm trying to install the 1.7.0 update to *NAVIGON MobileNavigator North America*. According to the app store, the space requirement is *1.59 GB*. I understand that I need 2x the space, so I should need 3.18 GB to install the update.
    According to my Settings > General > About screen, I have *4.0 GB* available.
    I can't get the install to run though. I keep getting the following error:
    "There is not enough space to download 'NAVIGON MobileNavitator North America'. Please delete some photos or videos."

    How do you know that Navigon only uses twice the number of space in their update? They may be using additional temporary holding space during the upgrade which would mean that in calculating the update space required after examining your phone they know there is not sufficient room. The iPhone also retains some areas for swap space the app installers cannot use this area, so subtract about 500 MB from your available, and some apps may be reserving additional swap space.
    So you are really talking about you need somewhere between 3.18 to 3.9 GB of space and you have roughly 3.2 to 3.5 GB available. Whether you like it or not, or consider it "barbaric" (exaggerate much?) you will need to free up more space. Or get a phone with more space available.
    This is no different on other phones or on computers with limited disk availability.

  • Can't build packages not enough space [Solved]

    I'm trying to compile latest -ck kernel but after it gets built I get an error saying: there is not enough space to build package.
    I remember that last time I was compiling the kernel, I've set-up so that /tmp is loaded in memory or something like that..
    And now when I try to compile the kernel, even though I choose menuconfig I still don't get in ti, to turn it off or even check what it was.
    My /tmp just have 1,3GB free space left, so that could be it, but I doubt it...

    That's what happens, but I think it is problem with root, as when this happens there's only 9,7MB free space left.
    I guess I have either remove unneeded packages or make root bigger...

  • CAN NOT UPDATE AS ITUNES SAYS NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON PHONE

    wHEN TRYING TO SYNC WITH MY IPHONE  I GET A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE PHONE COULD NOT BE UPDATED AS NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR A 1.1 MB SYNC.I HAVE OVER 2.5 GB SPACE. BUT STILL WILL NOT UPDATE

    Hello Peter39,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not update because it needs more space available. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I have a ipod touch and i got it for christmas with an iTunes card .the problem is that i downloaded videos and now it said that there is not enough space and i only downloaded 8 and now 5 don't download how do i erase them.can  get my money back

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

  • After accepting update to my time capsule, I can no longer complete a backup because there is not enough space.  I tried deleting old files, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any advice:

    My time capsule was updated through an apple download update on June 16, and now I cannot back up my computer.  The message is that there is not enough space.  I tried deleting my files, but it didn't help.  any suggestions?

    How much space is there according to airport utility?
    TM can be fussy.. Do a factory reset of the TC and give it a new name. Use short, no space and pure alphanumeric type names..
    And reset TM. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Then set up TM again to the TC and see if TM will start .. the reset will not hurt the backup and TM can still find it on a renamed TC.

  • What to do when you want to restor your ipod but it says there is not enough space to do it ?

    My problem is that i have 21go of the section "others" on my iPod 5. So, I went on internet to find what is the solution (or what to delete to get more space on my iPod), and I found that it was a problem to have more than 5go of "others", and that the only solution was to restor it. My second problem is that I can't even restor it because it says there is not enough space to do it. So, I deleted stuff and there is now 4.73go of free space. But it still says that there is not enough space to restor it !!!

    No, it says that i don't have enough space on my iPod ;$ But it's ok now, I went on youtube to find a way to restore an iPod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig). But thank you for trying to help me !!

  • Not Enough Space to Sync My Photos After Updating to 4.3

    With iOS 4.2, I was able to sync my entire Aperture photo library to my iPad and still had about 3GB to spare on it. It's a 32GB iPad. If I recall correctly, the photos took up about 6GB on it. After updating to 4.3 today, iTunes is telling me that it can not sync my photos to it because there is not enough space.
    How can this be? I had been syncing the entire library before with 4.2. OK, maybe Apple is optimizing the photos differently for 4.3 and they need more space, I don't know. I went ahead and cleared out all my video I had synced there along with some other stuff and freed up over 20GB of space which is available. Yet iTunes is still saying there's not enough space. How can this be? There was space with iOS 4.2, but not with 4.3. With 4.2 I had a few GB to spare even with my entire photo library synced. Now I freed up over 20GB and it's telling me it can not sync my photos.
    So now I am going to try to selectively sync photos to my iPad instead of choosing the option to sync them all. I still don't understand why I was able to sync them all under 4.2, but not 4.3.

    OK, I got it to work. Here is what I did.
    First it seems that iTunes is over-estimating the size of the photo library before it re-optimizes it. I have 17k of photos that I sync. It was reporting it would need in excess of 30GB of space to sync it (actually it only reports that there's not enough space, it doesn't give you actual numbers, but I was able to calculate them).
    So I cleared off all my videos from my iPad and whatever photos iTunes did sync to it and thus I had just over 20 GB free. Still wasn't enough space to sync my photos iTunes would report.
    I know previously that my photos fit on my iPad under iOS 4.2 and even if Apple has changed the optimization process resulting in larger image files, I can't believe they would be 5x larger. So I decided to sync just a fraction of my photos. I synced about a third of my photos. iTunes reported that it would be using 10.5 GB of space for those photos. But once it optimized them and synced them to my iPad, it was less than 2GB of space. So I knew I would be able to fit them all, it is just that iTunes is over-estimating the size.
    After a third of my photos were already synced to my iPad, now iTunes was reporting it would need 16.5GB for my entire library. I synced it.
    In the end, I was able to sync my entire photo library back to my iPad and the resulting space used for it is 5.8 GB, not over 30GB as iTunes was estimating originally.
    So if anyone else is having this issue, try clearing out some space on your iPad, and then syncing only a fraction of your library (a third or half) after that, then try syncing your entire library again. Once you do, you can put back media that you cleared out to make space.
    Cheers,
    Louis

  • I have backed up my ipad to my laptop prior to updating to the latest IOS and now I want to restore the backup back onto the ipad but it says there is not enough space? I have tried unticking all apps i no longer need, music etc but this still doesnt work

    I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy.  Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes.  So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so.  I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics??  And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.

    Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
    Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

  • I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

    It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*.  The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone.  You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

  • Can anyone assist me?  I have backed up my Iphone 4 however now cannot restore as not enough space?  I need to get this sorted by tonight?

    Hey annefrombeach,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to restore your backup due to an error message regarding not enough free space. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps for this specific error message:

    You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.
